- A Woman's Place (1998) tells the intimate stories of women from three countries - India, South Africa and the USA - who are fighting to balance the scales of power so that "a man's world" is also a woman's place. Advocates for women's rights have frequently turned to LAW in their efforts to accord women equality. But are new laws enough to change old ways? A Woman's Place explores this question through three separate stories that share one common link - patriarchal control and women's efforts to dislodge it. In a new, post-apartheid South Africa, Tandaswa Ndita, a judge, works with traditional village courts so women can inherit property as per the new Constitution. In Duluth Minnesota, Mary Asmus, a prosecutor, works with community groups to prosecute domestic abuse cases, in a way that won't render victims more vulnerable. In India two women, Veena, who had an arranged marriage, and Seema, who married for love, both find themselves at the same juncture, divorce, but with many disadvantages. Their lawyer, Flavia Agnes, uses a unique, feminist approach to law to help them have the life they want. Using this cross-cultural approach, the film reveals that patriarchy may cut across cultures, but each society finds unique and particular ways to tackle it.

- A three-part series about the life story of Francis Scott Key is told through remembrances from his closest associates, as played by a group of gifted actors. Key wrote our national anthem but was also a constitutional lawyer and an ambitious political operative for President Andrew Jackson whose conflicted views on slavery reflects the antebellum societies attitudes that eventually lead to civil war. The series is a window into the antebellum mindset that in many ways continues to raise questions to this day. The film centers on interviews between the filmmaker and a series of 13 characters from history who discuss and explore the events of Francis Scot Key's lifetime in a collective conversation that's supplemented with interviews with academicians and experts on the historical period. Re-creations of some historical events add further depth to the film. Part One of F.S. Key After the Song is subtitled "The Era of Good Feelings." It starts a heartbeat after Jackson's battle of New Orleans and is a primer on early slavery. Part Two is titled "Might Versus Right." It centers on Key's change in character and his involvement in the Jackson Administration and his transformation into a political operative. Part Three is titled "Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely." It shows how Key goes head-to-head with abolitionists' ideas -- and loses.
